Or, we could try to speed up the sluggish cultural feedback loop that lags behind innovations in AI. </p><p>That’s what we’ve decided to put our minds to at Emerging Etiquette. What if we preemptively imagined social rules based on our values—could we shape AI applications for the future we desire? The future could be weird and wonderful. Emerging Etiquette makes it possible for us to write the terms of service we want for the future.</p><p>Rest assured, our guide handles just about every AI-activated situation you’ve never stayed up late at night worrying about. Expansive in its scope, Emerging Etiquette covers everything from awkwardness in romantic relationships to convoluted global policies.</p><p>Advice requests are screened by our oversight committee of AI researchers and philosophers.</p><p>They waver somewhere between sticky and tricky; between unfathomable and on the verge of reality; and between downright absurd and positively hopeful.</p><p></p><h3>O﻿ur Supporters</h3><p>Emerging Etiquette is a subsidiary of the<a href="https://comedicinquiry.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Institute For Comedic Inquiry</a>.</p><p>This project is funded in part by a <a href="https://racc.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Regional Art &amp; Culture Council </a>grant.</p>
